Elizabeth Welch

I am honored to be a part of Broadway Hearts! Like too many of us, cancer has touched my life. When my mother was battling gastric cancer, Jessica was a huge source of comfort and support, so when she asked me to join her in this opportunity to bring joy and laughter to children with similar struggles, there was no answer but, “YES!” 

My friends, family, and total strangers carried me through the loss of my mother, and showed me more kindness and compassion than I can ever repay. Sharing that same love with others is such a privilege! 

Music and laughter are pure magic. They heal, encourage, and take our minds to beautiful places, even in the worst of circumstances. Children are the purest magic. Spending time with them heals all of us. I love spending time with these courageous beings! 

I’m currently in The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, with our founder Jessica Radetsky.  Thank you, Jessica for sharing your passion and encouraging us to do the same!
